The order was issued immediately after the police released a sketch of the suspect two days after the devastating attack on August 17. The sketch is based on images captured by security cameras which show a young man walking into the shrine and placing a backpack believed to contain the bomb. National police spokesman Prawut Thavornsiri said on TV that the suspect is a white-skinned man. Police said he is part of a "network", and that they are hunting two other men also seen on the security camera at the shrine before the blast.
